    Lovely and quiet we liked how it was away from the busyness of Stonehaven but still only a few minutes away Scenery is absolutely stunning and the staff were super friendly

    Lovely place to have a caravan. There was everything you would need. A nice decking area with a bbq. Only Five minutes in the car to Stonehaven. Kirsty was especially helpful recommending taxis and the best take aways.

    We were not told the name of the site -- Halymires Farm. Otherwise, the place was well signposted.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was beautiful, with lovely views. Lots to explore.

    Overall okay but not very happy won’t return. We left one night early for the following reasons: There were no staff on site and those adults at the equestrian centre didn’t make themselves known to us so we couldn’t discuss this. The caravan was as pictured but not clean. The microwave was so dirty, we couldn’t use it. The crockery and cutlery were 50% unclean so all needed to be re washed. In the end we resorted to eating out. The sheets were covered in hair and dark hair (we are all blonde!), my husband would only sleep on top of the bed not in it. The bedside tables were filthy and covered in dog hair. The towels smelt damp and could only use half of them as it was very strong. The bathroom was clean but lots of hair in the shower. The toilet roll had been dropped in something yellow so we didn’t use that either and bought our own. The sofa and tv area was comfy but again not as clean as you would expect. I have stayed in these kind of places about four times a year for 5 years and never mad a complaint before, so I know what to expect but sadly this isn’t it.

    Lovely location, excellent views. Close to amenities.

    Awful. I should have known as I always check reviews but didn’t this time. It was dirty. Cutlery, plates, glasses etc, filthy. Outdated. There was one fork? For three of us? Never again.

    At least we were warm even though the window in the bedroom didn’t even shut fully. That’s the only positive I can give.

    Arrived and parked in front of a caravan. To be told to move my car as I parked at the wrong one and someone was arriving tomorrow at that caravan. They were side by side. So we all got back in and I move my car 2 feet!! The ppl never arrived for 29 hours!!! Step out your car into mud!! Right round to the side of the caravan. Not great when you arrive in a brand new car! Will need to get it valeted now after 3 people and a dog were in and out all weekend. The caravan is very old. The seats are very uncomfortable. To the point even the children were complaining. The place could be doing with a good clean. The cutlery drawer is filthy. A lot of dirt on walls. Vents not cleaned. The bathroom wasn’t the cleanest either. The windows are so drafty. The blind in the bedroom moves with the draft and in the morning would wake you every 2 secs with the day light pouring in. Wanted to measure water to make my daughter noodles but no jug.

    Good Wi-Fi

    Nothing we even had good weather

    The on site facilities with horses and everything were excellent we were even able to watch a horse jumping competition it was great. The staff were excellent so friendly and would do anything for you. Only five minutes into the beautiful wee town of Stonehaven and Aberdeen only about twenty minutes up the road. Couldn’t fault this site in anyway as two grans with two grandchildren it was excellent.

    The location of this place is great if you don't mind driving back and forth to stonehaven. As a family we walked for around 30min down to stonehaven Harbour however you need to carefully cross the A9 and then we got a taxi back at night time. The caravan itself does not reflect the photos. It is very outdated and to be honest smells. The toilet is really not fit for purpose. The actual toilet system top bit is broken and when you flush it, really smells and the shower is like a hose. We actually used the shower and the toilet In the bothy ouwith the caravan due to the cleanliness of the caravan toilet. It is such a shame as the location (farm/horse riding location) is fab and the people who own it are so lovely howver the caravan needs to be updated. This place has so much potential and it would be lovely if there was new caravans on site. When we got into the caravan we began looking at other places for the weekend due to how outdated the caravan is and the toilet in the caravan. I am a bit concerned that this is actually allowed to be on booking.com sadly we won't be back due to the caravan howver as I say the family who owned the facilities are fantastic and were helpful.
